Remembrance

“We can truly say that
the whole circuit of the earth is girdled with the graves of our dead. In the course of my pilgrimage, I have many
times asked myself whether there can be more potent advocates of peace upon
earth through the years to come, than this massed multitude of silent witnesses
to the desolation of war.”

It is, November 3rd saw me and some 100 pupils of our school visit it. At the same time a school from Wales was there and held a short ceremony at the large square stone in the centre. They sang a hymn there and we all had goosebumps, it was thát impressive. Lest we forget!
